Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V

I recently went to a Microsoft event in Denver on Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V improvements. Harold Wong (b | t) showed quite a few demos and there’s a number of demos and notes from the talks on his blog.

I haven’t looked much at the Windows server OS’s in years and not much at Hyper-V. I’m sure the actual implementation isn’t as easy or smooth as in the talks, but it did make me think there’s no reason virtualization shouldn’t be considered for SQL Servers, especially as you move to newer hardware.
